Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1678 Little Sun

"The fact that it has three Roman seals on it means that there are two other parallel worlds of Rome that also participated in the Ark Project, right?"

This means invading the world. While Rome has already declined, if two more come, it will be a major problem even China will face.

"Yes, I plan to send a group of citizens who are unwilling to enter Cybernia to live in a parallel world."

"???"

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Agassiz paused for a moment. "Isn't the title 'Project Ark'? It means exactly what it says. The ship is sinking, and some people don't want to go down with it, so I'm helping them arrange lifeboats."

"Oh, I see!!!"

"And what do you think?" Agassiz asked, somewhat surprised. "You don't think I'm going to lead two more Romans to invade this place, do you?"

"what"

Agassiz slapped his head: "You don't know, so it's normal for you to think that way. Well, let me tell you the truth, the power of the Divine Realm is already beyond measure in the multiverse."

In other words, the other Romes are too weak—perhaps not very weak in an absolute sense. But compared to Cintalan, who is on the path to ascension with you, even two more Romes wouldn't be enough.

Agassiz added, "If we're talking about summoning the power of parallel worlds to boost this world, then Aurora has gone much further down that path than I have. Shangluo, aren't you a prime example here? You're an alien too, aren't you?"

"That makes sense." Upon closer reflection, it seems that Aurora was the first to bring in outside help, and they brought in a big one at once.

"So you don't need to worry about me recruiting people from outside at all. Transcontinental deployment is already extremely difficult, and troop transport across world lines is completely impossible for us—perhaps Aurora could try, but we certainly can't."

Shangluo nodded: "It seems that's indeed the case."

"So, can you please remove the cannon that's been pointing at my head?"

Agassocles pointed to the document he had just signed: "The Military Council has just compiled a large amount of intelligence regarding the attack from China. China has assembled an armored army group in Central Asia and is advancing at lightning speed, while another force is attacking from the sea aboard a massive expeditionary fleet. The Military Council has decided to order all Roman legions to lay down their arms and not resist, and I have just approved their plan. I think you must have made a mistake and misjudged my actions."

"Ah, this..." Now it was Shang Luo's turn to be speechless. What Agassiz had said earlier was actually an explanation. And the reason he made the explanation was that Zhen Dan had already sent troops, and the person in charge of command was Shang Luo.

Before leaving, Zhu Xianxi had given the order: follow Shangluo's arrangements. In other words, these expeditionary troops would indeed obey his commands. However, considering that he himself was actually unable to issue overly complex orders—such as suggesting machine guns to move forward or to the left—it was clear that he was unable to issue such orders.

He could only offer advice to the expeditionary force such as "advance" or "retreat." In other words, he could offer political opinions and decide whether or not to continue the war. But how to fight it was left to professionals.

"Please wait a moment, I will give the order right away."

"Would you order them to retreat?"

Shangluo shook his head: "No, I will order them to take over the Roman army's defenses. For every Roman who lays down their weapons, we will escort them out of the country." Although the atmosphere was awkward, Shangluo wouldn't be led astray by Agassiz. After all, he wasn't his father—even if he met his biological father, he would have something to say.

The current situation is that the Romans are actively abandoning their defenses. This is tantamount to abandoning all of their territory.

This was bound to happen sooner or later, so there's nothing wrong with it happening now. In any case, this is a problem that Rome will eventually have to face.

"Ha," Agassiz chuckled, "You're certainly not naive at all."

“I can’t just believe everything you say. I admit I might have misunderstood your motives, but are my concerns unfounded? In this situation, I think using force to resolve the issue is more appropriate. After all, if we can’t satisfy both sides, then let’s just satisfy ourselves.”

“Kid, you’re playing with fire. Even though I’ve given the order, do you really want to push all the way to Cybertronia?”

"Father, he has already sent someone."

"They've already arrived? When?" Agathocles suddenly stood up and looked out the window—outside the window, rows of Calamity Stormtroopers were guarding the entrance to the Great Library. The machine guns they carried were incredibly powerful; a direct hit would be fatal, and a mere graze would cause serious injury.

"What have you done? I was only gone for a short while, how did you suddenly transport so many troops here?"

“Take the stairs,” Shangluo replied. “There are stairs.”

Agassiz slapped his head. He searched through the files on the table and found the part he hadn't yet seen.

He had actually been back for less than 20 minutes and had just begun reviewing the official documents generated while he was away. The news about the Aurora army entering the city had indeed been delivered to him, but because the Military Intelligence Committee's report on the large-scale invasion by Aurora was more important, the information about the people at the gate was placed a few pages down.

"Interesting. Shangluo, you were actually planning to take over Cybernia while I was away?"

"I had no idea you weren't here."

"So you're planning to take me down too?"

“I didn’t say that. But I think it is indeed a great opportunity, right?”

“Alright, alright,” Agassiz clapped. “You’ve acted quickly, I admire that. But since you’ve already started mobilizing your troops, how about using those troops already dispatched to do me a favor?”

"what's up?"

“Thebes, the shadow of the past,” Agassiz uttered the name. “If you truly wish to help Victoria, then go to Thebes. The problem I truly want to solve, but haven’t yet solved, lies in Thebes. Now that you have relieved the Roman army of its heavy defensive burdens and genuinely intend to take over Rome’s defenses, why not help us deal with our most pressing concern? This requires a large army, which I lack. But with your combined strength, it should suffice.”
